Last night, at their home in Rockefeller Center, Christie’s Auction House hosted the likes of Salma Hayek, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, Ted Danson, David and Susan Rockefeller, Matt Lauer, Brian Williams and Anne Curry as they all bit to save the Earth. “The Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth,” the first ever carbon-neutral auction, raised over $1.3 million to benefit four major environmental not-for-profit organizations:
- Conservation International
- Oceana
- NRDC
- Central Park Conservancy.

Donated auction lots, including works by Damien Hirst (which sold for $80K) and David LaChapelle (Daphne Guinness took home his “The Rape of Africa” for $45K, following a rather intense bidding war!). The final lot, a round of golf with former President Bill Clinton, took home a whopping $80K, ending with resounding applause as the gavel struck!
